It’s an old sporting cliché, but Saturday morning’s Under 14 rugby match between Malone and Ballynahinch Under 14’s at Gibson Park was truly a game of two halves. Malone led 24 nil at half time with some great free flowing rugby with tries from , , and , two of which were converted by .

Malone enjoyed a strong first half performance against Hinch in the U14 friendly.

Ballynahinch dug deep and scored 24 unanswered points in the second half to tie the match. Tries by , and , one converted by set up Hinch for an unlikely comeback and when scored in the final moments, out half Woods showed nerves of steel to slot over his second conversion with the final kick of the game, from a difficult angle.

A remarkable second half sees Hinch equalise with the final score.

Unfortunately both teams choose to score at the opposite end of the pitch from our photographer. 🙁
